Nigerian Tailored Suit for Perfect Fit

As far as I’m concerned, there are far too many guys walking around in suits that don’t fit them and there’s no excuse for it.  I attend wedding occasions and I see men-on-suit, men-in-suit, men-by-suit, men-at-suit and so on. Hahahahaha! It’s funny though, but these names were coined according the fit of the suit on the men.

Ill fit can make a very expensive suit look tardy and trashy. I have also observed that

suit made in Nigeria are relatively less expensive to foreign suit or off-the-rack suit collection, the only different is that you will have to have a little patience to have your suit specifically sewn to your measurement.

Tailoring can make a relatively inexpensive suit look expensive, so for the guys out there who think that looking good in a suit is out of their price range – you’re wrong.

Off the track suit is already made with a client in mind, necessarily not you but when you meet Nigerian tailor or Nigerian fashion designer, they measure and sew to your specific, at the end of it, the jacket will fit you in the shoulder, it will hug your shoulders and encourage you to hold yourself upright.

Furthermore, the trousers fit you in the thigh rather than at the waist.

To help demonstrate what tailoring can do for a suit, my fashion designer at Dr.Legendclothing on 25, Fadunsi Street, Ogba Ikeja Lagos, Nigeria offered us to come and try on a few suits, and then get one tailored to our needs.

Nigerian Tailored Suit for Men

Personally, I think a man will look better than he does when he wears a suit. It can be worn at a variety of occasions and locations without ever looking out of place, all the while enabling the individual to look and feel truly stylish.

Hence, off-the-track suit that we call foreign suit or ready-made suit in Nigeria, will never be best fit even when it’s altered by a tailor to your specification. . Be it high street or a fashion designer, suits are all cut from a precise block in order to fit the specific sort of clientèle the brand is after and unless you are that client, which is very slim that you are, then forget about fit or perfect fit.

Of course, you don’t need me to reiterate the perfect fit factor to you. You already know that the most expensive and best quality clothing will mean nothing without a perfect a fit.  A good fit should always be your first priority when purchasing new clothing.

One way you can guarantee that a suit will fit you is if its tailored to your specification. And you can only get that when you have a good Nigerian tailor or Nigerian fashion designer sew to your measurement. That is if you are a resident of Nigeria. To be continued…

Fashion Rules Every Nigerian Fashion Designer Have Broken

If there's one thing that fashion's pretty famous for, it's the long list of supposed dos and don'ts. Never wear with this. Ditch the horizontal stripes. Make sure everything matches perfectly. It can be stressful, to say the least, sucking the fun out of expressions.

Fashion rules are meant to be followed and taken seriously, but there are always exemptions because, rules are made for people and not people for rule.

A lot of these rules have been broken by every Nigerian Fashion Designer

Don’t mix different prints and patterns. Wearing patterns within the same color palette, but of different sizes is the perfect way to show people you’re fashionable. It can also look extremely fresh, and elevate your look from ordinary to street-style ready in no time

Don’t wear black and blue together. Most people are too scared to wear this color-combo, guaranteeing you’ll stand out from the crowd if you try it, but not fashion designers in Nigeria

Don’t wear heels if you’re tall. This mandate isn't only silly, but a little sexist, too. Stemming from a whole bunch of antiquated notions including abundant height isn't feminine, and a woman shouldn't draw extra attention to herself, this rule is one no woman should ever follow if they don’t want to. We know plenty of women who are almost six feet tall and still rock three-inch heels with grace (and we’re jealous.) and heels are graciously transformative and completely change the way you carry yourself.  

Don’t match your shoes and your handbag. Matching both actually makes you look put together with minimal effort.

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. If your job doesn't require you to wear a suit every day, don’t. Feel free to show your personality!

Wear what makes you feel awesome!
